What others have said about the documentary

The film turns out to be one of the best things ever made on
Japan (even if you overlook my comic contributions to it).
Beautiful, insightful, moving. I was initially skeptical, and
a little reluctant, but the filmmaker really nailed it.

— Scott Mason

I watched â€˜in solidarityâ€™ at home from here in L.A. I
lived in Kyoto from '78 to '86 and must say it brought back so
many memories. I found myself agreeing with so much of what
was said, remembering my own experiences. Beautiful images,
and really nicely edited. Thanks for making it available.

[â€¦] I think that â€˜A Life in Japanâ€™ would be most useful
for people who are considering moving here from abroad, or for
Japanese who might be interested in getting a fresh
perspective on their own country [â€¦]. I would happily
recommend it to anyone who is curious about life in Japan, or
perhaps even as an educational tool.

[â€¦] what I really like about this short documentary is that
he covers both the positive and the negative sides of living
in Japan [â€¦]. I find that many videos talking about living
in Japan usually only show one side, either they are really
positive or really negative, but in this film I thought he did
a really good job of showing both sides [â€¦]. If you're a
foreigner and you're thinking about moving to Japan, I think
this video gives you a pretty accurate description of what
it's like to live here.
